I Will Live

If I OBSESS about my pain....
Will it go away?
If I WALLOW in self-pity ...
Will I feel better?
If I COMPLAIN to family and friends ...
Will they better understand?
If I am ANGRY about my situation ...
Will I see reality?
If I WORRY about how to cope ...
Will I get relief?
If I am ANXIOUS about things not in my control ...
Will I be composed?
If I DREAD what the future may bring ...
Will I avoid my fears?
If I HATE what life has dealt ...
Will I be a better man?
But if I ACCEPT my weaknesses ...
All I gain is STRENGTH.
And when I realize that I'm in control ...
Only then … will things change.
Then I can LIVE

About this poem:
I wrote this in coping with my RSD and how it may effect and affect those who deal with this condition. Just some reflection on the thoughts that those with Chronic Pain or Conditions experience daily it trying to manage what they are going through. We all experience periods of distress during our lives and the way our thoughts and emotions control our abilities to overcome our challenges. It is when we can accept our situations and acknowledge that ultimately we are the only one in control of our reactions to these situations that we can eliminate the suffering and anguish that manifests itself in our lives. Then we can learn to LIVE, no matter what life's obstacles may present us with. ... Peace to all

dental pain

In the chair
The paitient sits anticipating the pain he fidgets
Will it hurt he thinks to himself
As he eyeballs the drill that draws near his lips

Now frozen and puffed up to try to kill the pain
Near the drill draws near
Gripping the arm chair with fright anticipating
The pain

His palms sweating imobilised with frieght
Mouth open wide the glare of the intenece light beaming into his open eyes
The motion of the drill the burning water smell
The pain now intence as the speeding drill speeds up again

The water fills his mouth trying not to choke the nurse giggles with glee
As she clears his throat
This won't hurt she glares laughing with glee
Now unrelaxed his he

This is torture this he as to enjure
To have the perfect teeth he must enjure

Auto- Immune

Morning breaks pain awakes
Struggling to get out of bed
Dressing takes an eternity
This weighs down my weary head.

Husband casts the furtive glance
Concern crosses his face
This wears down the tired soul
It's become a race.

Ramp to be built
To take the hilt
Of one's enduring flame
Caned walks have now become the pain.

Answers sought
Cannot be bought
No matter how long the time
It's becoming clear that this life is no longer mine.

About this poem:
After my hysterectomy, I was prescribed an estrogen patch. It worked great for two weeks then I became noticeably weaker in my hips, legs and calves.Kicking off bed covers is a real challenge. Raising up out of a chair and walking is a real struggle and the doctors have no answers. On top of all of this, I broke my middle toe on my left foot while vacuuming the house.

An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away

Take care of yourself
It will save your health
You don't want to come to me
I give you pills that make you sick you see
I've sold my soul out to greed
It's piles of cold hard cash I need
Medical mistakes
You should know why there are so many for goodness sakes
We have to get as many patients through in day
That's the only way we will exceed a million a year in pay
So if your day turns to grey
And bills and threatening phone calls from collectors make you ill
The solution of course is to find some way to pay the bill
So take heed in what I say
An apple a day keeps the doctor away

Another Me

Who are you, I'd like to know
For you leave my soul so hollow
You entered my life, and then
Something changed, can't tell you when

I'm not sure when you arrived
But it didn't take long for you to thrive
To lock my heart, deep inside
Somewhere in there, you reside

Rest assured, my dear, with ease
I've been here, always, to appease
Though I had to intervene
For I wanted you to glean

At first, I let you be
I didn't interfere, you see
I didn't want to cause you pain
Or drive you to disdain

But when you intervened
You made me seem so weaned
Like my heart's turned to stone
And won't be loved, it's known

I know this, my dear, it's true
But it's for your own good, too
For if you don't love, you'll find
You won't suffer in your mind

So what do you want me to do?
Stay alone and silent, too?
How long do you think I'll last?
Living life, steadfast

Don't worry anymore
It's better off, I'm sure
If someone comes along
And you believe they belong

I promise, I'll let you go
To love her too, you know
And if she loves you back
Together, you'll stay on track

So do you give me your word
That you won't cause me hurt?
And that you're not with me
Just for your own decree

You haven't realized
That we're just one in disguise
I am you, and you are me
Created by God's decree

You can trust me, without fail
And you'll see, your life will prevail
I wouldn't cause you pain
For in your body, I remain

So now, let me tell myself
What has been, shouldn't dwell
I'll make peace within my mind
And hope that happiness, I'll find

a prisoner in my own skin

my name is stormeeker 223
i am 23
i clsoe my eyes so i don't have to see
the face in the mirror
looking back at me
it is painful to look at
and painful to bear
to see half the mask painted there
half my face is stone and unfeeling
sending my stomach and heart reeling
i open my eyes to see i have remained
one half flesh
one half stone
a mask on a face all its own
i wish i knew why it way this way
i just know i do not want it to stay
a prison in my own skin

The coach Potatoe

Sitting in front of the tele he sits
The coach potatoe
He always sits not moving not talking he just sits
Sqaure ies he now as got from sitting in front of the tele

Sitting munching his take away the coach potatoe sits and watches tele
not moving not talking muching all the time what channel he watches He does not care
Tele is his joy his fun

A knock on the door he does not care he ignores them all when the Take away comes he fidgets with joy
Rubs his hands opens his door glides back to his beloved tele sits Down for more
Eating munching he watches more tele

Mirror

Senseless in the sense that I feel hopeless yet I can’t imagine how it feels to be the one that is

Monuments of what I wish I was and images of what I wish I wasn’t

Simplicity is definitely the most complex apprehension that there is

And Flaws are just regiments

Futile in the logic that I feel bleak yet I can’t dream about how it feels to be the one that is

I tell the one that I care about that I may conceive an ailment that is life threatening and a smile lingers on his face

I stop and wonder maybe I am to be a comedy

But the breeze slapped me ridiculously and Heat of anger replaced my sudden thoughts apprehending what the gesture may indicate

Meaningless in the sense that I feel fruitless yet I can’t visualize how it feels to be the one that is

And by my window I am then a smile across my face appears I lift myself up and walk away

A chimera I made it and sound was everything once more.

About this poem:
It is about one that feels pain and sees it in others yet feels it difficult at the same time for the individual to accept it making excuses for the feelings that is present and stating that the issues are nothing as the ones others have to face.

GROOVE TIME

She smiled as she closed the front door
A smile that never quite reached her eyes
For a moment she studied the floor
So very intrigued by the various dyes
Her feet tapped a rhythm as her body moved
She turned the stereo on with the right beat
Alone she decided it was time to groove
Music had always made her complete

"Change the beat the rhythm is too slow
I have got to dance, just watch me go
Here on my dance floor is where I glow
My body is hot as it goes with the flow
Every twist, turn or step I know
My body will even bend like a bow"


It was her time she made no apologies
No one to answer to or take care of now
No running nose due to allergies
No wondering if for this time will allow
She rock like a sixteen year old
She wined like a belly dancer
Her moves are daring and bold
Even she wonders if she is from Asia

Then she took a moment as her breath slowed
She stopped the music and really smiled
She felt her body ached, ebbed and flowed
At the mirror she stuck her tongue out like a child
She cared not if her reflection approved
In this time, at this place she was her own boss
It was her time and she just grooved
Sweat, stress and worries her only loss

where are my wings

On the worst of nights, I promise to myself I will not return to every place you hurt me. Shedding tears, we weep our hearts into our shaking hands. Everything is and is not as it should be as the piece come together than scatter again to the stars. The moon looks down as if saying oh look at you lay beneath the tree, so small so quaint. So pitiful yet beautiful. I remember once you used to fly. What happened to your wings?
My wings?
What happened to my wings?
You happened to my wings. The darkness that surrounds me, that chokes me and tried to suffocate me. I once flew among the clouds and the bright glittery sun. I’m caught in insanities grip. Dear sweet moon how can you follow such a damaged girl so absolutely? But I have hope, a prince I have grown to love. A beacon in the desolate land. With him no matter how dark the night gets hope is possible.
Once I felt surrounded by a crowd of liars and thieves but now I have a king who makes me feel like a queen.
On the worst of nights, I promise to myself I will not return to place that you hurt me. My love calls to my soul like a beacon of light in these rough seas. For with that light now I feel peace even when I am scared.
